Was Obama's "Certificate of Birth" manufactured?

Even my wife can produce such paperwork at the drop of a hat. THis includes her actual birth certificate (in Persian) and the official English translation (raised stamp). Now, if my wife of foreign origin can produce such documentation, why can't Obama?

Seems that the birth certificate released by the Obama campaign might be that of his sister, Maya:

*Breaking* Sister Maya’s Name Uncovered on Alleged Obama Birth Certificate [Update]
August 5, 2008 · 106 Comments

Forensics specialist Techdude, who has been chipping away at the Obama Birth Certificate mystery for some time, has confirmed that the name on the original Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) which was used to forge the document presented by Barack Obama as his valid Birth Certificate IS:

Maya Kassandra Soetoro.

His sister.

The document presented by Obama as the “truth about his birth certificate” can be seen on his official campaign web page, “FightTheSmears,” here. In an exclusive TexasDarlin report on Sunday, Techdude revealed that he had discovered the true identity of the person on the original COLB, but that he was not ready to disclose that person’s name.

He gave readers step-by-step instructions for conducting the analysis at home. In a follow-up post, I published a comment by Techdude in which he explained why he was waiting to name the person, and he challenged readers to solve the mystery first, offering a free trip to Las Vegas for the first person who posted the correct answer.

Several hours later, KG, a reader on the TexasDarlin blog, posted her/his discovery in the Comments section of this post, and detailed the technical process she/he followed to get there....
